Very unlikely to be notable: theme songs of television shows are seldom notable, there is no evidence of notability, there is no corresponding Japanese article, and it has been unreferenced since it was created in February 2008 (tagged since October 2016). –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:28, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Very minor, but that's no reason at all to delete. It's a key part of the Smurfological canon (I can't believe the things I have to write here sometimes). "theme songs of television shows are seldom notable" is a very dubious claim. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:21, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment: I have revisited this today, and I don't find there are reasons to think this 45 rpm single was "a key part of the Smurfological canon", are there sources to support the assertion? Sam Sailor 08:08, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~. While it is not unsourced, an external link is also a source, I can't find additional sources to support WP:NSONGS, and I don't see a reasonable target for redirecting. Sam Sailor 22:22, 26 August 2018 (UTC) (Amended, Sam Sailor 16:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect as an {{R to related topic}} to The Smurfs music looks like a good idea. Sam Sailor 16:07, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no evidence of notability (as proven by Sam), Fails GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 15:38, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with and redirect to The Smurfs music - this probably is not notable enough to have its own article (as far as I know, it did not chart, and unlike "Smurf Song", did not get to Number Two in the U.K. singles charts) but it could be merged with the article on the smurf's music in general.

Merge Notable because its a theme for a popular television series. But there does not seem to be much of an article here. Nor is there any way to develop the article. Merge with The Smurfs music. Freetheangels (talk) 19:27, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Delete: I would agree that saying "Theme songs of television shows are seldom notable" is quite a big claim, but that's not to say that many don't warrant their own entry on Wikipedia, including this one. Freetheangels is correct, this article in no way can be developed further, I would say merge with The Smurfs music as a first choice but that's not to say that I think deletion is out of the question.Grapefruit17 (talk) 15:32, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With this much notability we can Merge with and redirect to The Smurfs music. Rzvas (talk) 16:55, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No redirect/merge. If it's not going to be mentioned by name and if there are no sources to merge, then what is the effect of redirection? It'll end up deleted at RfD. czar 18:47, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
